I'm trying to use jsntp available from http://www.kcmultimedia.com.
This is a Java program for setting the system clock using NTP Servers.
When performing setup I'm not sure what the appropriate Time Command
should be. I presume it would be the same whether using SuSE 5.3, Red
Hat 5.2, Open Linux 1.3 etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
